Anyone applying to be a substitute teacher who does not hold a regular active teaching certificate, or a 5-year substitute certificate issued by KECS, will need to apply on-line through KECS to get an Emergency Substitute Teacher Certificate.  In order to hire certified substitutes without a teaching certificate or a 5-year substitute certificate, a Board Order is needed indicating that a qualified teacher was not available for the position. Candidates still need to have at least 64 hours of college credit with a minimum 2.5 GPA.
